I am now 31 and thank goodness! According to a new book released yesterday called “The Dumbest Generation,” by Mark Bauerlein, you should not trust anyone under 30 because they got stoopid using the Internet. Bauerlein is an English professor at Emory University who has also lamented the death of literature readers as a researcher for the NEA.

I haven’t gotten my hands on the book yet, but come, now. I know he wants to sell books (and I may even pick up a copy and READ it since at at my age I am only on the cusp of being dumb), but where does he get off calling millions of people a “bad word,” as my kids would say?

I came across the book and its thesis at the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtor’s blog: The Skinny.
